Excellent news, I might pop over one day as I was lucky enough to catch the Apaches when I went over last year.

Same here my friend, I went over last year on the odd day here and there and its just luck if they are flying or not I was lucky enough to catch the Apaches last year and the year before I was lucky enough to catch the Chinook with some troops dangling from some line under it, Was very cool to see.

I am over towards St Andrews most days so if I see anything I will let you know :thumb:

Just checked 360Radar, x3 Apache's heading due north from Wattisham - What's the chances there heading up to Leuchars for the ex?

Call signs are Viper 1, 2 & 3.

Viper 1 is just east of Doncaster at the moment.
